For the first quarter, the company reported:

  • HIV product sales increased 6% to $4.6 billion in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by higher average realized price and demand.
  • Liver Disease portfolio sales increased 3% to $758 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This was primarily driven by increased demand in products for primary biliary cholangitis, chronic hepatitis B virus and chronic hepatitis delta virus, partially offset by lower average realized price for chronic hepatitis C virus products.
  • Veklury sales decreased 45% to $302 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by lower rates of COVID-19-related hospitalizations across regions.
  • Cell Therapy product sales decreased 3% to $464 million in the first quarter 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

“Gilead had a strong start to the year driven by excellent commercial and clinical execution along with disciplined expense management,” said Daniel O’Day, Gilead’s CEO.

“Our base business grew 4% year-over-year, primarily led by Biktarvy’s continued strength, and we announced positive topline Phase 3 results for Trodelvy plus pembrolizumab in first line PD-L1+ metastatic triple negative breast cancer,” O’Day added.

Outlook: Gilead Sciences lowered its fiscal 2025 earnings guidance from a range of $5.95 to $6.35 per share to a range of $5.65 to $6.05 per share, versus the $6.21 estimate.

GILD Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Gilead Sciences stock was down 3.34% after hours at $102.70 on Thursday.
